My grandfather 

His name was Aristeo Antonio Alvarado, he died nine years ago. His parents lived at the time of the revolution and they used to tell him about events that had happened during that time.He married my grandmother at 25 years old, she was 15 when they decided to live together.

A year later his first daughter was born, and each year a new children was born in total there were 10 but one died days after being born.

My grandfather used to take his children to the fields to work and my grandmother used to have girls at home. They always lived with a “machista” idea.

My grandfather didn´t have memories of his family, so the last name "Alvarado" didn´t have a great history in my family. It probably didn´t belong to my grandfather because he could never remember his full father's name and never knew his paternal family.
